It starts its life the same way all Laphroaig whiskies do in a time-honoured tradition which has been perfected over two centuries. The malted barley is first smoked then dried over a fire fuelled by peat hand-cut on the Isle of Islay. After fermentation its aged in first-fill bourbon barrels made from American oak. While the whisky is still young its transferred to much smaller quarter casks. This gives the spirit more contact with the wood imparting warm and spicy oak flavours. Its a method which was almost lost to time but has been revived in this whisky. Finally it is left to rest in our warehouse on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.Alcohol Strength: 48 percentPack Format: Bottle
